What is World Wide Web?

A system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet.

Origination and Early Development of the World Wide Web

Researcher Tim Berners-Lee led the development of the World Wide Web in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

He helped build prototypes of the original core Web technologies and coined the term "WWW." Websites and Web browsing exploded in popularity during the mid-1990s and continue to be a key usage of the Internet today.

About Web Technologies.

The WWW is just one of many applications of the Internet and computer networks.It is based on these three core technologies:

HTML - Hypertext Markup Language. HTML originally supported only text documents, but with enhancements during the 1990s grew capable of handling frames, style sheets and plugins for general purpose Website content publishing.

HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol. HTTP finally made it to version 2.0 after 20 years, indicative of how well the protocol accommodated the Web's growth.

Web servers and Web browsers. The original Netscape has given way to many other browser applications, but the same concepts of client-server communication still apply.
